Africa Travel Magazine During our
extensive visit to Kenya over a two year period,
our editorial and marketing team was fortunate to
arrange a meeting with the East African Wild Life
Society. This organization is one of the pillars of
conservation and ecotourism throughout a vast and
highly important sector of Africa. We considered
that occasion one of the most important interview
sessions in our fact finding mission on the state
of Kenya's Tourism Industry. Our brief capsule is a
profile of EAWLS, and we invite our readers
worldwide to get involved. We will be adding a
variety of pages on the society and its efforts in
Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania on this web site and in
the printed editions of Africa Travel
Magazine. The East African
Wild Life Society, EAWLS, was formed in 1961. The
Kenya and Tanzania Wildlife Societies, both started
in 1956, joined together with wildlife enthusiasts
from Uganda, and thus EAWLS was born. EAWLS was
established as a membership organization, as
reflected in its constitution, and is registered as
a Non-Governmental Organization, NGO, under the NGO
Act of 1990. For over forty years now, EAWLS has
been at the forefront of efforts protecting
endangered and threatened species and habitats in
East Africa. E-mail: info@eawildlife.org
